  • Patent number: 10321174
    Abstract: In an approach, a server computer receives a request from a client computer specifying particular content for a particular user, wherein the particular content is associated with an original audio language. In response to receiving the request, the server computer selects a preferred audio language and a preferred subtitle language for the particular content based on a particular record of a preference database. The server computer returns asset identifying data that the client computer uses to obtain a stream of the particular content using the preferred audio language and the preferred subtitle language from a content delivery network (CDN) or other asset location. The server computer receives a message from the client computer that identifies an presented audio language and a presented subtitle language that were presented to the particular user while the particular content streamed.

Then, taking the inside tube out and soaking it with hydrofluoric acid (HF). Next, the inside tube is taken out from hydrofluoric acid (HF) and it is soaked with pure water. It is dried with ammonia gas(NH3)after the inside tube is taken out from pure water. The inside tube is then washed with pure water by vertical-style washing, and it is dried with nitrogen gas (N2). Finally, the purged inside tube is set into furnace, then proceed a baking process about two hours at low temperature and low pressure to eliminate entirely remained acid from the inside tube, wherein the foregoing temperature range is about between 120° C. to 400° C. and the foregoing pressure is about 0.3 torr. The baking process begins proceeding to follow the purged process has been finished.
